Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:86625
• Parent Cell Line: E14 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A 2.1 kb genomic fragment encompassing the exons encoding the fourth transmembrane domain was replaced with a neomycin selection cassette inserted by homologous recombination. Neither transcript nor protein was detected by RT-PCR or Western blot analyses of homozygous mutant brain stem tissue. The absence of protein was also verified in fractions obtained from mutant spinal cord extracts. (J:86625)
